Good Weed Good Women

Cannabis is more than a plant—it’s a catalyst for liberation. In this vibrant multi-media collection, entrepreneur and poet Jasmine Mans (founder of Buy Weed from Women, a Black woman owned and operated product design house and apparel company) assembles a high-octane gathering of voices redefining the cannabis industry.

The book honors the traditions and ancestral rituals of the cannabis plant, from the deep roots of Rastafari culture to the medicinal knowledge of the Indigenous matriarchs of Northern California. Jasmine unpacks cannabis in the media through deep-dives with the visionaries behind Broccoli and Gossamer magazines, and explores its role in entrepreneurship with trailblazing CEOs of brands like Miss Grass and Sackville & Co. Examining the science, the visceral, and the political, Good Weed Good Women looks at cannabis in relation to everything from the patient, the stigmatized “mother-stoner”, and the racial makeup in the industry and how it got that way, to the law with an urgent call for justice with the Last Prisoner Project.

This collection brings together a powerhouse of accomplished experts and visionaries spotlighting how women are reclaiming cannabis as a tool for mental, financial, and spiritual freedom. A stunning tapestry of personal essays, intimate photography, and unfiltered dialogues from the industry’s front lines, Good Weed Good Women isn’t just a book, it’s a feminist manifesto with a powerful message: Women should invest in themselves. Women should support each other. Women belong in business—and everywhere.
